Down 100 lbs finally! It has been over two years, but I finally did it! I would have done it sooner, but last year I had a complete unfill due to cancer treatments.......and I put some pounds back on!

One year cancer free, two years weight free! Life is good! I feel amazing and love all the comments I get about how wonderful I look.

It is possible for the band to work. After 2 years I can finally say that I love my band and wouldn't change it for the world.

Congratulations! They just un-filled me for chemo treatments last week. I've gained 1.8 lbs. I've tried very hard to eat the same way, but it's difficult when you feel that hunger again. I'm hoping that soon I wont want to eat, right?

It looks like I'll be walking a little longer every day to keep from gaining much back. It's GREAT to hear that you overcame both the cancer and the weight. This is exactly what I needed to see today.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
